Featured Reviews for Architects in Portland, Northland, New Zealand

Solarei Limited
Architects in Portland, Northland, New Zealand
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 February 2020
“We enjoyed working with Duncan from Solarei. He actually listened to what we wanted for our project and he came up with detailed plans that met our needs and reflected the coastal environment in which we live. He managed the project through the complex regulations of our local government body and obtained all necessary consents and approvals. If future developments require any architectural input, they will be referred without hesitation to Solarei. Wade and Sue Rowsell, Kerikeri, New Zealand”

jo hill designs ltd
Architects in Portland, Northland, New Zealand
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 April 2019
“This is the second time that we have had the pleasure of working with Jo on the design of our house. Initially some years ago, on a Devonport Villa renovation and alteration that saw the house double in size and most recently on a new build on a challenging but stunning rural site. Both times Jo designed a home that met our brief and exceeded our rather over-exacting expectations, that was specific to the site and location and local council planning rules. Jo managed to achieve what others had not managed to achieve before her on this site. She comes with a unique blend of design talent and building expertise so has a wealth of knowledge not only in design but the practical application of those designs and an in-depth knowledge of council’s ever changing planning rules. We have a home that is an absolute pleasure to live in, with great flow, that maximises space and makes the most of our unique outdoor setting.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Portland architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Portland can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Portland during initial consultations.
